Considering they were cutting and welding to make it, their only limit was the amount of fabrication time they wanted to spend on the project. So yeah, it's from harbor freight, but taken to the extreme, any source of raw materials could have been fabricated into a vehicle.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I built a shelter using only twine, sticks, mortar and bricks!
Building a WHOLE house using ONLY materials from a building materials and lumber distribution center
DiWhy?
Do they have better tires there now? I built one with my niece and nephew years ago using only materials found at Harbor Freight but their tires were absolute garbage. I had to get them somewhere else.
I watched the video and the original tires that came with their garden cart got torn off because of shear stress while turning at low speed. They went back and got some better ones that seemed to work alright.
That actually surprised me - they said it was because there wasn't enough weight at the front to let the bearings take the torque, so the wheels just dragged instead
I learned a surprising amount watching that video
